There's too much to dust and nowhere to put anything new (heaven forbid anyone gives us a gift that needs to be displayed somewhere!!)

That's why I love mine, ( postcards) they fit in a shoebox. I'm with you in that anything that collects dust or needs to be dusted, no way at this house.

Funny to read about the horses. I too had tons of Breyers as a girl, and collected porcelains also ( Beswick, Hangen-Renaker, Lefton) I even use to "show" them in model horse shows! ( how crazy is that??) Anyway, I'm getting ready to eBay the porcelains. I haven't added to them in 30+ years and yep - collecting dust.
